mayor

The first full-time mayor of the new Nordpfälzer Land association became Michael Cullmann ( SPD ) on January 1, 2020 . On June 16, 2019, the previous mayor of the Rockenhausen community prevailed in a runoff election against Tanja Gaß, which was supported by the CDU and FWG . The runoff became necessary because none of the original five applicants had received the required majority in the direct election on May 26, 2019.

coat of arms

The Palatinate Lion , a compass rose pointing north, and three wavy bars that represent the Alsenz , Moschel and Appel rivers are the symbols on the new coat of arms of the Nordpfälzer Land association.
